Twfggs Items.

This section has been visited by some
heavy rain-falls during the past two or
three weeks. The corn upon the low lands
has been considerably washed, but has re-
covered and is growing nicely again.
Cotton continues to grow and is looking
we'll, though the past few nights have been
quite cool, and will check it somewhat
Harvesting wheat and oats has been in
full blast the past week. Wheat about all
cut and in the shock. The yield will be
good. The late sowing of oats is looking
well, and promise tins yie!Sr-G6ardens
are affording abundance of vegetables,
and the good housewife is smiling and
happy.
We were shown a field of cotton on the
farm of Mr.. w. D. Gray, and will only
say that it is the finest we have seen this
year.
We had the pleasure of sampling some
butter recently made by two of our neigh
Dor ladies-Mrs. H. NJ. Tate and Mrs. ]. G.
Hamlin-which for color and flavor would
be hard to excel. These ladies attend to
their dairies themselves, and their tables
are always supplied with the very best OF
butter, and what surplus they have always
commands the highest price in market.
The health of our community is not
good; dysentery is prevailing to an alarm
ing extent, and several deaths have result
ed from it in the last few days. Mr.. a. a.
Dean and Mr.. Will Watt have both lost q
little girl in each family, and other mem
bers of their families are very low with the
disease. They have the sympathy of the
entire community in their bereavement.
Almost every family has been suffering
from the disease to greater or less extent
Rev. II. G. Fennel, pastor of the church
at Varennes, delivered q very fine sermon
to the congregation at Hebron Church on
last first Sunday evening. Many heard
him for the first time, and were deeply i'm
pressed by the truths presented in his ser
mon. He made a favorable impression
upon every one in the congregation by the
agreeable and forcible manner in which ne
handled his subject. They would be pleas
cd to hear him again.
The church at Shiloh, across the line in
.4z6eYfile County, has secured the services
of Miss Carrie Gray, an accomplished
young lady of this section, as organist.
The church will be pleased with their selec'
ton, as Miss Carrie is an excellent per-
former.
A riot at Pleasant Grove Church, COLOR
ed,) near this place, will cost the good peo-
pie of our County several hundred dollars
before it is settled-alI brought about BY a
few bottles of whiskey being sold and
drank at the above church; and yet we
hear some men say that whiskey is good
thing, and that there is no harm in tiff we
let it alone. But it will not do to argue
thus, for it will not let our people alone,
though they do not drink it, nor will it
ever cease to trouble our people and our
Courts until We succeed in stopping the
traffic in it. OMEGA.

Sad Death.

Mrs. Florence Drake died suddenly on
Tuesday night last about one o'clock at
the residence of her husband, Mr..
Thomas F. Drake, in Varennes township,
She retired in usual health on Tuesday
evening, and the first indication Of ap-
preaching disease was awaking about
one clocR with III feeling OF sgt:
location. She called her husband and
told hira she could scarcely breathe, upon
which he procured light and advised
her to stand up, as she was very feshy,
and he thought the standing position
would relieve her condition. She arose,
but fell back in q few moments, and died
before their nearest neighbors could be
summoned. Mrs. Drake was daughter
of the late Matthew Snipes, Of this
County, and was an excellent christian
woman. She was very industrious, and
always displayed judgment and skill in
the management of her domestic affairs,
and was thorough-going business wo.
man. She was about thirty-five years OF
age, and was very robust in statue and
apparent health, so that her sudden death
is a great shock to her family and friends.
She leaves husband and several small
children who, with large circle Of rela-
tives and friends, mourn her untimely
death

For several weeks past we have been
advising the residents of the city to clean
up their premises, in order to prevent any
sickness that may alise from the filth
thereof. Some have needed our advice,
but others have not. An inspection Of
the city is now going on by the police,
who have strict orders to enforce the law
against all persons who fail.to clean up
their premises. This is an important
matter, for the health Of any city or town
depends largely on keeping the private
premises of its citizens in the cleanest
condition possible. The city authorities
keep on hand large supply of lime,
which will be furnished free of charge to
any resident. for disinfecting purposes,
and it Is to be hoped that our citizens
will call and get some of it and use it
about their premises. Mayor Tolly is de-
termined to enforce the law, and every
person who fails to clean up his premises
may expect to bear the penalties of the
law to the fullest extent.
